Question about Available CMD Commands in XPE

[Marc Noon]

I need to know the available commands available in XPE and the difference
between that and XP Professional. I was looking MSDN and was having trouble
finding if there were any major differences, or if their were ways of
installing sets of commands based on the needs of the embedded device
depending on the installation of XPE.

Such commands are those available at the admin level. I just wanted to get
a feel of the difference to administrators between XP Pro and XPE.

Thank you,
Marc Noon

It depends on what components have been included in the build.

Thank for the response, I have another question to add...

So if I need to use task kill in a batch and it doesn't exist in the current
build, does this needs to done during the build to enable the task
kill(tskill)? And is there a list of these commands and the difference
between the builds and the standard build of windows xp pro.

XPe is XP Pro broken down into several thousand components. Whatever is in
XP Pro should be in XPe. The various command line programs are scattered in
different components. If there is a particular program that you need in the
image, create a filter that searches on the file name to locate the
component that the file is in.
